Inject or infect?

April 7, 2021 Nic Elliott 01:03:15

Andrew revists a libertarian thought experiment and applies it to virus infections & government jabs to see whether the state is once again guilty of cakeism.

Surely we can apply the same rules to both injections and infections?

And Nic decides to find out what the UK medicines regulator means when it says the Covid gene therapies (vaccines) are “safe and effective”.

Is 2 months really enough for a trial of an experimental drug where you don’t follow up on more than half of the recipients?

Have more people become ill from a supposed preventative than from contracting the virus itself?

Motorcar Musings

April 1, 2021 Andrew Elliott 01:05:50

Over the past couple of months, Andrew has found that some of his best thoughts come when he’s driving. As he can’t very well text and drive, he’s been recording them on his phone.

With a couple of months of recordings now accumulated, he decided to play them to Nic in order for them to properly discuss them to see if they made any sense after being properly thought through. There are a bunch of different ideas from Andrew, including another example of Elliott’s Law and some stern criticisms of both conservatism and socialism. This podcast is a brief introduction, the recordings themselves and then the whole conversation afterwards.

Steel Manning Vaccines

March 26, 2021 Andrew Elliott 01:14:24

This week, Nic wants to steel man vaccines.

Let’s be honest. We struggle with this one! Is it possible to steel man the arguments for vaccinating the entire population (including people who have had it and are now immune) without steel manning authoritarianism? We certainly give it the old college try along with making a few predictions about what will happen in the future.

Gamers – will they save us?

March 1, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:56:07

This episode Andrew wants to talk about something close to his heart: Gaming.

More specifically, he wants to talk about gamers, as they have been in and out of the media for the past few years. We start by talking about games themselves and what they entail, to give you an idea of the type of person they attract. We then move on to Gamergate and, more recently, the GameStop hedge fund affair.

Can Andrew convince Nic, his relatively black pilled brother, that there is hope? Will Gamers save us from SJWs and the evangelical left?

I’m Forever Blowing Covids

February 16, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:53:02

This week, we’re back talking about the only game in town: the ‘rona.

We discuss the ridiculous behaviour of a new phenomenon: “leapers” and relay information about how well the new vaccine centre around the corner from Sounding Board HQ is doing. Spoiler: not very. We also discuss covid centrism, as well as applying it to Elliott’s Law to see if it still holds up. Andrew also predicts that kids blowing bubbles will soon be banned (or at least it will be called for).

Finally, we talk about the zero covid muppets and how they are precisely wrong about everything.

Have No Morals But Your Own

February 3, 2021 Nic Elliott 01:18:59

Andrew is calling for a General Election, but do we really want Keith in charge?

Is there a better model of healthcare for the Covid age? Are neo-liberals just itching to tame but not eliminate state intervention?

And have people outsourced their morals to a higher power – the state.

Cancel Culture

January 13, 2021 Andrew Elliott 01:05:26

Speak to anyone on the evangelical left, and they’ll tell you that cancel culture doesn’t exist. They’ll maintain that cancel culture is merely just consequences. That people are simply being held to account for things that they are saying or doing. And by holding them to account, they’re only using free speech.

But the question is “Are these consequences proportionate?”

Is it a valid outcome to be fired from your job for stating that, for example, “Women are adult human females”?

And how far does cancel culture go? Does it just affect celebrities and big names? Or is it something that we all should worry about?

Elliott’s Law

January 6, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:33:11

This episode, we discuss Elliott’s Law, which Andrew has just created:

a) In politics, respect only flows one way: in the direction of statism.

People more statist than you are always “misguided”, people less statist are always “dangerous”.

There’s this idea that a little (or a lot) more state than what you prefer, is always far better than ever so slightly less.

b) The more you are demonised by people more statist than you, the more you demonise people less statist.

In this respect, objectivists are no better than any other socialist. In fact, they’re often worse.

We also discuss technocracy, which Nic has been investigating. Are technocrats the ultimate hard centrists?

The Sounding Board Christmas Message

December 24, 2020 Andrew Elliott 00:33:35

In this season of festivity and joy, it’s time for the Sounding Board Christmas message.

Will it be a message of hope for the future? Will we be encouraging others to “stay safe” and keep away from Granny?

Don’t be silly. In this special Christmas edition of Sounding Board Nic keeps it very simple, and rather brash, while Andrew offers advice on how to make sure the true meaning of Christmas is kept even in these dark times.

We also argue over what makes a Christmas film as Andrew shares his definitive list of “Proper Christmas Films”. Do you agree?

Thanks for being a loyal Sounding Board listener this year. We really appreciate it.

Have a cracking Christmas and we’ll see you in 2021.

The Covid Christmas Cancellation

December 23, 2020 Andrew Elliott 01:01:01

The government found just the excuse it needed – a new strain of the coronavirus – to lockdown in all but name and cancel Christmas for a huge swathe of rhe country.

We talk about the rules of Tier 4 and how it was announced, and whether there needs to be a new scientific discipline for analysing and predicting what government will do next.

Does there need to be a new term for those that have always opposed these government restrictions, and what about those that have woken up from the brainwashing?
